Tiger Moth - Genus Apantesis
Looks like a Tiger Moth of some sort in the genus Apantesis. Try browsing through there and see if you can get it down to the species.

Good luck!

Oops.
Er... I just noticed that you've already got it narrowed down to the Apantesis genus. So, I guess I wasn't of much help. If you can spread the forewings so that I can see the hindwings and the top of the abdomen, I can probably get it down to the species for you.

Thanks for the help, but the specimen is gone. I gave it to the neighbor kid to share with his class.
